Hi, it's me Maria

This is my personal website where you can get to
know me a little better, see some of my personal projects, and find how to contact me.

About Me


I am currently a senior studying Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. Here in my school I am involved in the women's basketball team (NCAA DIII), the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Scholastic Leadership Society. I am also a part of communities and organizations such as CodePath, Rewriting the Code or ColorStack where I get to meet people that are in the same industry as me and network with them .

I was born and raised in Madrid, Spain. I did an exchange year my junior year of high school in Michigan and then came back to the US to go to college here in Minnesota. I take pride in my life journey and honestly believe that with hard work, perseverance, and consistency you can achieve your goals and dreams.

Last summer I completed an internship as a Software Developer at Pharmatheutical Specialties Inc (Rochester, MN) where I was part of a small collaborative team where we maintain and improve a full stack application run in Adobe ColdFusion and run on a MS SQL server database. We worked closely with other departments to gather requirements to improve the existing and add new features. I also was part of an intern project that explored the implementation of AI in the cosmetics industry which was presented to the executive team and got to participate in a rotational training across manufacturing, packaging, quality assurance, and shipping departments.

I am a very curious and creative person. In my free time I like to work on personal projects and learn new things outside of the classroom environment. Outside of programming, I love to read, watch the sunset and travel (whenever I am not working out or playing basketball).

As a very motivated individual, post-graduation in May 2025, I am hoping to have the opportunity to work as a software engineer and find a company that supports my growth and learning. I love paying it forward and family and community are fundamental values to me.
